Interesting fact
The 1 Mon "Kan'eitsūhō" coin from Japan, made of Copper, is interesting because it was produced during a time of great change in Japan's monetary system. In the mid-18th century, the Japanese government introduced a new currency system, which included the 1 Mon coin, to replace the old system of bartering and using foreign currencies. This coin was an important part of everyday transactions and played a significant role in the economy of Japan during that time.
